Thanks. I've got a SD card which I put Raspbian on. I didn't get very far with it as it defaulted to some unreadable resolution on my TV and didn't have any options to change it but I'll dig out a lead and hook it up to my PC monitor and test.

(*) if force_turbo is not set then run something on arm at the same time (e.g. stress) to get arm busy enough to switch to turbo.
Thanks. I'll give that a go.
